Canon - SELPHY SQUARE QX10

Agreed! I bought this on vacation because I was scrapbooking a lot and the small size is one of the benefits. The app gives me a ton of control over what I print and has made memory keeping even more joyful!

Also love my Canon Selphy!! The photo quality matters to me since I love looking back and rediscovering memories!

I’ve had a Canon Ivy for years, and also a Canon Selphy square. I tend to use the Selphy a lot because it is newer and higher quality, but the narrower Ivy photos work well if I have a little less space. I got non-proprietary cases for travel and have loved having them!

I have not had any issues at all. Since I’m a data kind of person, I looked up my receipts and here are my stats, lol: It is the QX10, and I’ve had it since Dec 2023. I’ve purchased 120 sheets of photo paper for it and have ~20 sheets right now, so it has printed 100 photos for me so far. 😊

I second the Canon qx20 (or qx10 if you just want a 2x3" print). I don't like the HP sprocket 200 or Canon ivy 2... they seem to overly sharpen and I don't like how they reproduce darker skin tones.

I have a canon selphy, I think the qx-10 (the new one is qx-20, has usb c and some new features). I like it a lot! I would say that the quality of the photos isn't quite to what you'd get when you order photos, but it's still pretty good. The pictures are maybe slightly fuzzy, and I think blacks aren't as rich, but otherwise pretty good. If you don't peel the backing off, they're as thick and stiff as a normal photo, but they're pretty thin when you stick them in your planner. They're a little thicker/stiffer than a regular sticker, but not by much. I was honestly surprised at how thin they are. One downside is that the paper/ink refills are kind of expensive. (I think it comes out to around $ .75 each print.) Sometimes I print out a collage and cut out the individual photos for separate spreads/days, which helps the refills last longer. I've included a picture so you can see, but I was struggling to get one that was in focus, so It might not be helpful, lol. This is in an A6 planner. https://preview.redd.it/e6wag07zu45g1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1ee3a5efbe2393edce4ff72e1cc011505e0a073

I also love the thinness of the SELPHY compared to the sprocket. I also imagine the washi prints thinner photos too so I am interested in information about how that compares

I have a SELPHY square and the cartridges come with the paper.

I do have the QX10 and I love it. Its not ZINK paper, but just as easy to use (the printing process might take a little longer) and the photos look fantastic.

Its a little more expensive but not by much. Here it would be 50 cents for a photo on ZINK paper and around 70 for one with ink. So depends on where you live and also how many photos you print. And it produces a bit more waste because of the ink cartridges

It generates its own wifi. You connect your phone to the printers wifi basically.

I use the selphy square for adding pictures on the go. It’s dye, so it uses ink, but the cartridges are small, and the photos will last a really long time. It was important to me that the photos had longevity. The selphy paper is sticky. I will add getting the paper can be a little annoying in the states. It used to sell out a lot. I’ve acquired a bit of stockpile so I don’t know if that’s still an issue.

Canon selphy qx10 over here highly recommend it. Got it second hand and it works great. I use my sprocket for general journaling and the selphy for memory journal and my sons memory journal als

A Selphy também tem um custo por foto alto. Por outro lado, as fotos são 10x15, no estilo das antigas fotos de laboratório (que eram 10x15 ou 13x18) e impressas por sublimação, gerando fotos bem resistentes. A Selphy também é portátil (cabe numa bolsa grande ou mochila), mas precisa ser ligada à tomada. Por outro lado, existe uma bateria à parte para ela. Detalhe, recentemente foi lançada uma nova Selphy, a Selphy Square, que imprime fotos menores (68,6x68,6 nice), mais ainda usando o processo de sublimação. Essa nova Selphy é o equivalente mais próximo das Fuji.

I have SELPHY Squares, the original and the new one. I loved the first one enough to buy the second as soon as it was available. As for if they’re worth it, if you want something portable, then yes, they’re worth it. I love that all the paper is sticker paper and the print quality is really good. These are dye sublimation printers so the colors are accurate and the prints last even if they’re exposed to sun every day (a bunch of mine have been on my fridge, directly across from the kitchen window, for years). If you want something bigger but still fairly portable, there’s the SELPHY cp1500, which other people have already mentioned. Any bigger than that isn’t going to be as portable. Canon used to make a travel inkjet that could print 8.5x11 but FWIW it broke the first time I traveled with it, so if they still make that one, I can’t recommend it. There might be other brands doing these though.
